Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: Does the High C string also have an exposed core?

• A: Yes, the Super Steps design is applied across the set to ensure consistent tonal brilliance and a balanced "step" profile across the bridge saddles.

• Q: Why choose Super Steps over standard round wounds?

• A: The exposed core allows the string to vibrate more freely at the bridge, which provides a significantly brighter, more "active" sound even on passive instruments.

• Q: Will these fit my 35" scale 6-string bass?

• A: These are standard Long Scale (37" wound length). While they fit most 34" and some 35" top-load bridges, you should measure from the ball-end to the nut to ensure the silk starts after the nut.
